Newbie ST owner- hello

[Mattj75]

Hi, well after selling my Peugeot 306 GTi6 about 7years ago when we bought house, I have runaround in 1.4 clios and 1.2 punto's.

Well was out with my father in law, on new years eve, in th day, at the Renault dealer. We went down in his 06 plate Focus ST to trade in against a Renault megane RS 250 Cup.

They offered him £4750 for it, its mint, 40k on the clock, HID angel Eyes, tinted rear windows.

Well to cut a long story short, he offered it me for £6k,

Needless to say, 2nd Jan, HAPPY NEW YEAR, it's mine,

So a big HELLO from me.........

Yeah more smiles per gallon, than miles! When weather better in Sheffield will take some pics!

Very wet and windy in Sheffield! Has been last 2 days!

[Mattj75]

Only using for the daily commute a the moment, 16 mile round trip.

Forgot to say its Red, I believe that's not a common colour for the ST?? I may stand corrected.............

It does look mint mate, great cars. I had one in sea grey 06 reg, had it 3 years and ran it with no issues.

You don't see that many in red. Surprised at low offer from Renault, how old is it?

I don't think you'll regret buying it for that price!

[Mattj75]

It's 2006, with 42k on the clock, with HID angel eyes fitted

Does look good. Mate just sold his Colorado, wasnt planning it but the call of an RS was too great. Angel eyes?? Is that an ST1 without HID's then?
Congrats on getting the car. To be honest all second hand cars are worth nothing nowadays. Dealers really dont want them, just want to sell units of cars. Mate just sold his lovely Mini Cooper S R56 with thousands spent and struggled to get £5.5k for it. It will be for sale for £8k somewhere, its that mint. You were in the right place at the right time as such.
